YOU DECIDE.....

Wow, never realized that. Thats really funny.

 

[JDraper]

Hmmmm, a Merkiades...

Most of 'em look the same anyways...Uniqueness in cars has gone away

Most of 'em look the same anyways...Uniqueness in cars has gone away

Or we are just gettin older.

I remember, back in the '80s, my dad used to say that all modern cars looked the same to him, but I could always tell the difference.

looking at the prices kia is 20,000 mercedes is 40,000. The only difference appears to be a few performance parts.

 

[wired_af]

Doesn't kia also make a car that looks like a mercedes? Or is that hyundai?

looking at the prices kia is 20,000 mercedes is 40,000. The only difference appears to be a few performance parts.

And...every single component on the car...

And...every single component on the car...

That Merc has tried to copy from porsche. The M-Class has always sucked.

I saw the new M Class from the rear the other day and thought the EXACT same thing. "Not bad looking for a Kia". Then I saw the tri-star logo and couldn't believe M-B would design something like that. Now the Chris Bangle "Dame Edna" Bimmers don't look so bad............

 

[Bwana Bob]

Neither of them looks like a truck anyway. Just another bunch of 4WD chick cars.

i'm gonna get the kia and swap the logos for the MB ones like the guys who do fake z06s and whatknot...

 

[RHblueX]

I bet the m-class is a little quicker, the ML500 anyway.

 

[bmxking5]

Some KIA car looks almost exaclty like a Jaguar...never realized how close those two looked alike.

 

[techieman33]

I can tell you first hand that they look identical, I was visiting a car lot the other day, and they had them sitting side by side, other than the badging you couldn't tell the difference.

actually i heard that the kia was trying to compete w/ styling cues from the older lexus RX 300. Not sure where I read this info but from the side view it did kinda appear to a similar stance and look, but upon closer look, Dahmler, Benze,= spelling is horrible, I'm sure they would like to see a new Kia come around to distance themselves alittle more on the ivory tower, Still like the ML class anyways even w/ out the Insperation Series no longer being developed.

 

[huskyfan23]

The Mercedes looks worlds better

 

[Stephen]

They may share a resemblence, but they are, and look to me, totally different. The two companies share no R+D and no parts.

 

[old mechanic]

Geez! I'm surprised that Mercedes is trying to copy a Kia!

 

[j602]

Kias rock.

We have a Kia Sorento and I really like it. It's been a really good vehicle and we have even taken it 4-wheeling.
This was over 10,000' but I can't remember the name of the trail but the Explorer group did it last time they were in Colorado
